Just to add to this. Anyone trying this for the first time , expect it to take awhile , most don’t pop off that easy . Also , the white set quick disconnects that he’s using are wayyyy better than the metal universal and multicolored set . Great vid man , well explained
Levi Callus Good to hear "this takes time, understanding and patience". I am on my 2nd week of trying to remove the low pressure fuel line using fingers by depressing the 2 black buttons as you force the metal line against the HPFP than try and "pull it off". Finally quit and ordered pliers made for this particular task as well as "the wrap around metal button depresser" but many reviews state the wrap around fails to adequately depress the black plastic buttons.
This was exactly what I was looking for. A straight forward explanation of how to disconnect and reconnect a fuel line. About to replace the injectors on my '03 Dodge Dakota and I have never disconnected the fuel line before. Thanks for taking the time to explain this procedure.
+oldesarge2000 Excellent to hear and thank you for the kind words! I have have some other Dodge related videos if you are looking for more tutorials. They're from an 03 Dakota as well with the 4.7L V8.
This is the most helpful video I've come across on this subject. I've never had to disconnect this particular kind of fitting before now, and Ive been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out what the right tool to buy is. Thanks!
Yeah, with 22 years of Wisconsin rust I wasn't so lucky. Tried your tool and also the metal scissors one, until the rusty filter crumbled. Now I get to try again with a big snowstorm rolling in... And I've done this successfully on other cars before...
Thank you for info. Not a minute more or less than needed on the video. Other youtubers would have included a 10minute history of how that type of connection got invented. 😂
I had to replace a leaking heater hose fitting to the firewall. Same style fitting (2000 Silverado). Bought the same plastic tool kit and it was a snap. Worth the few bucks to avoid the annoyance of trying to make some tool.
I did this with a an old credit card, a zip tie, a lighter, a tire pressure gauge, and a 9mm box wrench. 1. cut the credit card cut down to a 3cm by 2cm rectangle. 2. wrap the rectangle around the tire pressure gauge and use the lighter to give it a circular shape. 3. wrap the warped rectangle where the tool would go. 4. tighten the card flush around the metal with the zip tie. 5. use the wrench to push the credit car in.
Thank you for a straightforward simple way to do this! I saw these connectors, and I thought, OMG! now what do I do??? Such a relief to see this video!
Hey I fixed mine!: '96 Buick Century dripping quick connect fuel line-bad o rings. I was able to disconnect the line using the right size push in nylon disconnect collar sleeve auto stores sell for this. Then I used needle nose pliars to remove the 4 fingers metal connect cage by rolling it and lifting out. Then I removed the first black plastic spacer sleeve by prying with a small screw driver. Then pry out the first o ring, then the yellow plastic spacer sleeve, then the second o ring. I then found my 1/4" socket extension fat end was the right size to tap everything back in place using a light hammer in the same order noting the black spacer sleeve has a wide end top stop. I replaced the worn o rings with black plumbing o rings # 2-012 3/8" id x 1/2" od that I had in my supplies. Paying it forward here, hope it helps you.
Thank You. I had already watched several videos on this and yours is the first one that I could simply watch and SEE how it is done. Well done and a public service. Thank You
Lol I just yanked them off and those clips came off and stayed on the fuel line so I just put the clips back in the hose and shove them on the new pump and it works great no issues or leaks just gotta make sure you bend the clips out so they can still grab
OUTSTANDING!! I have not worked with these connectors before, just bought the tool and didn't know how to use it. I am hoping that this works for my trans cooling lines on my Durango. Let you know soon.
@Michael Walter I cant comment on a Buick because I have not been exposed to one. What I do know from working on other cars is that the oil rings are found in the fuel injector heads. You have the fuel line which uses the fuel release tools on this video and then the fuel line feeds the fuel rail with the fuel injectors feeding the combustion chambers. Hope it helps.
Made a tool out of a bicycle handle end cap worked like a charm and it took 5 minutes to make saved gas and money lol. Worked just the same. Did it on an 07 aspen. Good video just wanted to see the way u did it to make sure i was doing it right. I work on cars had to do this for a friends car.
Thank you so much for the feedback and kind words! I could never drag out a video, I always like keeping informative yet short. Easiest way to get out info.
thanks for your video I am trying to undo a fuel tank under the back of a 98 Suburban and the fuel hoses are extremely hard to get to buying this tool will definitely make this job a lot easier. as I suspected my fuel tank and pump are good it is a leaking fuel line.
You can't do a repair without the proper tools. If it's a fuel line, the last thing you want is creating a leak and then having the vehicle catch fire.
This is but one obstacle that stands in my way if I want to change the gasket seals on my car but here I am, probably foolishly hoping to still fix it myself, lol. I saw the gas lines though and stopped. I think I'll toss a pack of these onto my Amazon list with other parts I'm getting, either way. Thank you for the video!
Pain in the ass! Definitely quick connect not quick disconnect 😂😂😂 I would suggest the plastic moveable ones i used a back handle one with 2 pieces you have to try to get into it. I did mine on a 03 yukon
I just finished replacing the pump on my 04 Silverado in my driveway. It has 300k (KM) The pump still worked, but rusted out and had a huge hole. Strong gas smell whenever I parked it. What a nightmare! The lock ring was fused to the pump from rust. Also rotten was the metal quick connect shown here, part of the metal line on the frame near the tank, and the tank straps. Runs a bit better now and no more codes! Have a good one :)
I am looking for a DIY mechanic that has a typical low pressure fuel pump line entering the HPFP but has 2 depressable black buttons that can be depressed by: 1. your fingers 2. a special blunt tipped pair of pliers or 3. the circular tool that wraps the metal fuel line and depresses the release buttons when closed - so you can remove the metal fuel line from the short metal entry tube into the HPFP. I have tried several times as the you tube videos suggest "no tool required" but I finally stopped trying and purchased pliers (than soft tipped the plier ends) and the circular tool is coming UPS for $37.00 but many reviews of the circular tool indicate it is not properly made so fails to depress the buttons for release of the low pressure fuel line into the HPFP: Working on A 2011 Mini Cooper Countryman S with the N18 Engine.
Well done video clear & concise, I need to get this set of tools, what is the proper technical name for them and where would you recommend that I buy one?
Tried your recommendation of inserting the quick disconnect tool and than turning back and forth the hose while holding the tool from turning and it came apart easily
I have a 2003 Dodge Ram Pickup with the 5.7 hemi and the line that couples to the fuel rail will NOT loosen up and come off even after buying different tools both plastic and metal , Can you cut the line above the coupler and put a high pressure hose where you cut ?
Have you tried pushing it on further or rotating the connections? I'd be hesitant using a gear clamp connection and there isn't a hose barb, so you can risk the link sliding off under pressure.
+Steven Goat Thank you and Merry Christmas to you as well! Best of luck with troubleshooting your pump as well. Hopefully you're not stuck in the cold weather.
Yes I googled it found out how to do it made it to get it off fixed and running I am so happy first time I've been doing something like that never changed pump in the gas tank
Have you tried from both the top and bottom? I haven't worked on one, but another option maybe loosening the cross member of the transmission and dropping it down slightly, should have enough flex in the engine mounts.
You can also use a small alligator clamp, open the clamp wrap it around the hose, slide down and push into clip releasing the teeth. fast and easy! Good luck!
Mine was rotten so it broke right off no special tool it now needs 2 new short pieces of fuel lines So i can crimp one end of the line from the gas tank and the other line crimped to the fuel line from the engine once i cut the old line pieces off Only other way i can hook it all back up is that way or use brake line connectors and flare the gas line if it'll work and not leak gas
Hello I have a 2003 ram 1500 5.9 and I can not find a fuel line connector for it do you no were I can get one or just a whole new fuel line that will fit because the one that came with my ram is a metal connector.

Hows going there good video. I have a 2006 Volvo vnl670 with an d12 engine and iam wanting to change out the fuel filter housing butiam kind of skeptical on do in it cuz i never done it b4. Are the fuel line fitting are the same as the Volvo d12 engine ?
OK hears the thing . my gas lines wear very rusted got to different tools the line wouldn't release end up just pull the line out clip and all and transferring the seal and clip ,the tool might work great with no rust but when rusted be ready to just pull everything out and transfer the seal and clip
I don't have that tool that you are using. I do however have the gearwrench 41500/ WILL any of those parts in that kit do? none look to me like the one you are using.

So how do o get to the line that is right behind the engine by the transmission with out removing the transmission
Have you tried from both the top and bottom? I haven't worked on one, but another option maybe loosening the cross member of the transmission and dropping it down slightly, should have enough flex in the engine mounts.
When the engine is off is there still pressure in the pump side of the line or do they all come off dry
yes
Thanks dude....
Thanks dawg! You're a big help.

great video buddy,,whats the name of that special tool to disconnect the gas lines???

On my ZX 14 I was putting it back together and noticed an o ring that had ripped in half..can I just replace the o ring or need a new line
Yes you can, take the o-ring to a hydraulic supplier and they'll match it up for you.
The connections at the fuel pump are very difficult.
home made ones work great : )
